The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor added that he and Perry constantly challenge each other’s personal growth.

“She definitely demands that I evolve, and I feel I do the same for her. And that makes for fireworks, pardon the pun,” Bloom said, referencing Perry’s song “Firework.” “But it also makes for a lot of fun and a lot of growth.”

“I wouldn’t change it for anything, even when sometimes it feels like, ‘How do we do this?’ Because we’ve got these two giant careers and lives, and hers is like a universe sometimes,” Bloom concluded. “But I think I just keep coming back to her and trying to hold her hand and walk her back to the sand pit and be like, we’re just going to build a sandcastle.”
